I work very hard not to be hurt by what other people see in me; it's their opinion/view. It's the only information we get on how other people see us, our only mirrors of what we look like from out there. If I don't like it, I try to remember it's just information from that one person and that I know who I am and am trying to become and that's the most important fact.

See if you can discuss this "interesting information" with your T as if it is about someone else. Yes it is about you and hard not to take critically/personally but as my stepmother use to say after I was grown, "it's not a criticism, it's just an observation." I wish she'd had that viewpoint when I was a child.
